RE: Now they're even hacking my account to give upvotes FROM ME to people who support my main DOWNVOTER!!
They are pretty twisted, as shown by making him upvote them. I would change, just to be sure....
:'(
Allegedly speaking. I am not going to say that happened. Because they probably want to remove the content. In other words, it is not about money but about the information itself, most likely. Therefore, a downvote does not remove or edit the posts. The suspects are probably interested in deleting the content.
Debate is encouraged, censoring is feces, the last refuge of a scoundrel!
They do Not have the right to remove someone else's information, even if they don't like it! If this becomes the normal, steemit is gone.
>:(.Did he not say somebody hacked into his account? If somebody hacks into your account, it is the same as entering into your house. So, he can say that they went into his account to get him to upvote some accounts, but that is the same as a house robber coming into your house to call somebody and to not rob you at all. Yes, it can happen, but it is less probable. I'm not going to say what happened as I don't know. I'm speaking in generalities of what is more likely to happen. Criminals don't follow laws. Hacking into an account is bad. Editing somebody's posts is bad too. These are both bad things. If a person is going to Bad Thing A, then why wouldn't they also do Bad Thing B? It is hard to hack into an account. It can take time. So, if somebody took the time to hack into his account, then why wouldn't they also edit his posts? Is he really that rich? Why wouldn't they go into his wallet and send all his money to them?
Changing his password is like changing the lock on the house. They made him upvote them, because it amused them to do so.
As far as the hacking of accounts, if it were near impossible, why would steemit have an account recovery system in the tools? One keystroke monitoring virus, and you have the account password, if it is 8 characters long, or 50. That is also why steemit offers low level passwords, and does NOT want you using the main one all the time.
This is a windows problem, not a steemit problem, and that is one of the many reasons I run Linex OS, and not windows!
He is a Conservative, so they want to stop his input; simple as that. Anything they can do to hurt him, they will do; not for debate, but for punishment and censorship. These are Evil people, doing Evil things.
:'(Passwords Are Locks:
I agree with what you are saying, that it is good to change passwords, to change house locks, but if they break in, they may steal things from you. If they don't like what he is posting, then they may try to go into his account to edit his posts. If it was just about money, they could send his money to their accounts.
Ubuntu
I'm using Ubuntu Mate 16.04 and I agree with you, I prefer Linux related operating systems and have been using Ubuntu since 2007.
Upvote
I just don't understand how or why they would make him upvote them. Well, unless if they were to sign his account up for auto voting. Well, it is possible they got in and got his account to upvote their posts. If that is true, then these criminals are incompetent as thugs as it would be better for them to edit his posts. But I guess it is easier to upvote than it is to edit posts.
I use Ubuntu myself. I started with 6.04, and I am installing 19.04 on a SSD. I will keep my old drive as a data storage unit.
Using the lower authority password will protect the upper level ones too.
These people attack as a political tool, as their first choice.
:)>I've been using Ubuntu Mate 16.04 because I prefer the classic user interface (UI). I didn't like the Unity UI or GUI which Ubuntu began using since Ubuntu 10.10 which came out in October of 2010 (2010/10 = Ubuntu 10.10). But I may consider trying out Ubuntu 20.04 in April of 2020. I may try out other operating systems as well. But for the last several years, I've focused on Ubuntu Mate. But I try to keep an open mind concerning the different OSes, programs, etc.
Passwords
Depends on which passwords, which keys, were discovered or guessed by the criminals, the hackers, or whoever. I guess it depends on how as well. See, if you change your password, it may not matter too much as that may not necessarily stop them from getting the new password. I guess it depends on the details.
I used windows for work, and I use windows for the engineering software I need, but I Never put those online!
Ubuntu has run my home computers for a long time, and has worked well for me.
The password protection on steemit seems to be minimal, for all their long mixed characters starting points.
I spend more time on weku.io now, they seem to be more like steemit was before all the hardforks software changes, apparently for whales to cash out.
